Save Time While Cooking With An Extra Bowl For All Those Scraps
BY LENA BECK
Kitchen scraps like eggshells and potato peels can pile up and make your workspace a mess. Next time you cook, use a bowl as your one-stop spot for all your kitchen discards.
Simply set a large, clean bowl near your prep space so you can toss in scrapes as you go. When it’s time to clean up, just walk the bowl over to the compost bin and dump it.
Besides saving you time and effort, this habit limits the amount of mess you make in the first place. You can line your bowl with a compostable bag for even easier disposal.
It also helps to use two bowls if you’ll have multiple types of trash, like food scraps versus plastic and packaging, so you can dispose of each type properly.
